This is a mess largely created by our government policies.
Now, several generations in, it is hard to reverse.

Which breeds sloth, dysfunction, apathy, and envy.

Welfare is a career choice. Having lived on the islands of Hawaii, single motherhood is a profitable life choice.

I think it’s the “Me First” generations. Believing they have a right to be happy 24/7. Anything less they divorce and move on to the next relationship married and not.
I also think people “try on” marriage like a new outfit they might buy in a retail store. It might fit well at first...then begin to wear out and or the parties size increases until it doesn’t fit any longer.
There is nothing this generation commit to except their own happiness and pleasure.

The open gash in American fabric caused by immorality and free money. In an age, unlike December 1941, when both birth control and abortion are universally available why do we have such a shocking increase in bastardy rates? Somehow, I do not believe the mothers and fathers of 1941 had a more diminished sex drive than do the mothers of today.
There is a reason why illegitimacy increases when technology provides the means by which it so easily could be averted.
I agree with your analysis of the cause but I would peel back one more layer of the onion, there is a void in our soul.

Interestingly when the Selective Service Act was introduced in 1940 Army doctors and psychologists found that 40% of inductees couldn’t read or write.

In WWI the Army processed in an enormous number of draftees. They initiated IQ - Stanford-Benet, called Alpha & Beta tests by the Army. I think this was the first time such testing was done on a wide spread basis. (Don't know about the Navy, I assume they did something similar!) They discovered that a very very large number of inductees were by classification of the test “idiots”.
I have always been somewhat suspicious of the whole IQ theory. I don't think its as immutable as is claimed. There certainly are boundaries. I just don't think its as “cut & dried” as is believed. It's just my opinion, based more on the desire for “human equality” then facts.

Two is how it was designed. We both(men/women) play pivotal, and key roles.
We are in so much trouble right now as a country. Our morals, our narcissistic culture, our jealousy, our discontent, our desire to seek happiness in every moment, our fear of speaking goodness.
I wish I could flip a switch and go back in time.
God bless

That’s God’s design of the family. Yes, the mother is also a leader but Dad is the head.

Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” was a huge success (for Democrats).
